Subject: net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=336ca57c3b4e2b58ea3273e6d978ab3dfa387b4c;p=linux-beck.git

net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.

The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going
away and writing to sysfs attributes was incomplete.
- It did not set signal_pending so we would leak ERSTARTSYS to user space.
- It used ERESTARTSYS which only restarts if sigaction configures it to.
- It did not cover store and show for ifalias.

So fix all of these up and use the new helper restart_syscall so we get
the details correct on what it takes.
